Purple sunbird changes hue

The purple sunbird dances
dressed in shades of black

then the sun spots her
turning her into a mesmerising purple

so do we change tones
when love stops by

nudging gently at the elbow
reminding of gifts to bestow

in times of joy or sorrow
to many a friend or foe

be the purple sunbird
dancing and get others to dance with you

coz there's much to give
and lots to forgive

the purple sunbird dances on
there's much to celebrate in this unhappy world..
